Vaccinate Your Pet!

Surgical sterilization is surgery requiring anesthesia, and older pets may react negatively to anesthesia. Therefore, caution is advised when considering surgical sterilization of an older pet. In general, the benefits of spaying and neutering far outweigh the negatives. If the optimal "window" for spaying or neutering your pet is missed, the surgery can still have beneficial affects up to a certain age. Dogs and cats do not experience "menopause" like humans, and can reproduce throughout their life span. However, they do become less fertile as they age. Elderly unspayed females are more prone to experience certain health problems, and the decision to spay may vary, depending upon the age and health of the pet. Any concerns or questions should be discussed with your veterinarian prior to surgery.

Surgical sterilization is surgery requiring anesthesia. Older pets may react negatively to anesthesia, which would be the main reason to use caution when spaying an older pet, although the benefits of spaying and neutering, in general, far outweigh the negatives. If the optimal "window" for altering the pet is missed, the surgery can still have beneficial effects up to a certain amount of years. Dogs and cats do not experience "menopause" like humans and can reproduce throughout their life span. However, they do become less fertile as they age. Often, by this time, unspayed females will have experienced complications due to the fact that they are unspayed. Depending on the animal's age, it still may be beneficial to have it spayed in the later years. Discuss your concerns or questions with your vet.
